Privacy policy
This policy explains what information TOOL FOR EVERYTHING handles when you use the site, and the choices you have.
Last updated
The short version
- Files and text you use in our tools are processed in your browser and are never uploaded to us. The one exception is the paraphrasing tool, explained below.
- We do not have user accounts, so we do not hold your name, password or payment details.
- Advertising partners such as Google may use cookies to show ads. You can control this.
Files and text you use in our tools
Our PDF, image, writing and developer tools run entirely on your device. When you choose a file or paste text, it is read by code running in your browser tab. It is not sent to our servers, and it is gone when you close or reload the page. Any file you download is created on your own device.
The paraphrasing tool
Rewriting text needs an AI model, so the paraphrasing tool is the one tool that sends text off your device. When you press Paraphrase, the text you entered is sent over an encrypted connection to our server and on to our AI provider, Anthropic, which returns the rewritten text. We don't store the text or the result. To prevent abuse, we count requests per IP address for up to an hour; we don't link this to you. Anthropic handles the text under its own commercial terms and privacy policy. Please don't paste passwords or other sensitive personal information into the tool.
Information collected automatically
Like every website, our hosting provider receives basic technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix errors, and is kept only for a short time.
Analytics
We do not currently use an analytics service. If we add one, it will be a privacy-friendly tool that counts visits without identifying you, and we will name it here.
Advertising and cookies
The site is free because it is supported by advertising. We use, or plan to use, Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites, and to measure how ads perform.
- You can turn off personalised ads from Google in Google Ads Settings.
- You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google's partner sites policy.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
If you visit from the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we ask for your consent through a consent banner before any advertising or analytics cookies are used. Until you choose, these cookies stay off. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
Children
The site is a general audience website and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
